Modcast #528: Mr. Suave's Faves of 2022

Here it is, my annual taster's choice of 2022's most mod friendly sounds. From soul to ska to garage and power pop, 2022 delivered some cool music. This show could easily have been three hours long, but rather than just listing everything I stubbed my ear on over the year I really try to hard to narrow it down to the what in my opinion is the very best of the year. Not an easy task, and I'm not sure I didn't miss some essentials. But I tried, and now you can enjoy and let me know what you think of my selections.
